She enrolled in Buffalo State College in 1972, and began her career in visual arts as a painter. However, this is the when she began experimenting with the creation different self-characters. She did this through the use of costumes and thrift store clothing. This began her use of photography and developing her style as a photographer. Her best known work is from a series called\u00a0<em>The Complete Untitled Film Stills<\/em> (Fig. 2) which features average women in their average natural habitats, as heroines in their own story. This series communicates a powerful message and has been an inspiration to many artists.<\/p>\n<p>I love how Sherman communicates many of her subjects in such a familiar way, as if we already know them well. Even today, looking at her portraits, they are so eccentric and kind of weird me out. But I guess that was the point: to make people sort of double-take and wonder what the heck she was thinking dressed up like that. Despite her photography being strange, I can somewhat see how her style has carried over to modern day photographers. People that are popular Instagram and Youtube have certainly taken inspiration from her work and it&#8217;s cool to see that cycle.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/interactives\/exhibitions\/2012\/cindysherman\/lib\/uploads\/G08A05Untitled-359.2000_large-316x475.jpg\" \/>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/interactives\/exhibitions\/2012\/cindysherman\/lib\/uploads\/G07A04Untitled-213.1989_large-381x475.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Figure 1: <em>Untitled #359. <\/em>2000\u00a0<em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Untitled #213. <\/em>1989<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/interactives\/exhibitions\/2012\/cindysherman\/lib\/uploads\/G02A13Untitled-Film-Still-13.1978_large-376x475.jpg\" width=\"288\" height=\"364\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/interactives\/exhibitions\/2012\/cindysherman\/lib\/uploads\/G02A81Untitled-Film-Still-81.1980_large-331x475.jpg\" width=\"253\" height=\"362\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/interactives\/exhibitions\/2012\/cindysherman\/lib\/uploads\/G02A65Untitled-Film-Still-65.1980_large-338x475.jpg\" width=\"258\" height=\"362\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Figure 2:\u00a0<em>Untitled Film Still #13.<\/em> 1978\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<em>Untitled Film Still #81.<\/em> 1980\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<em>Untitled Film Still #65.<\/em> 1980<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/interactives\/exhibitions\/2012\/cindysherman\/lib\/uploads\/G06A07Untitled-175.1987_large-724x475.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Untitled #175.<\/em> 1987<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/interactives\/exhibitions\/2012\/cindysherman\/lib\/uploads\/G11hanging+Doll-Clothes+.1975_large-606x475.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"b-left\" class=\"left\">\n<div id=\"double-trouble\" class=\"cursor left t-round\">\n<div class=\"cursor left p18 pFix pl9 pr9\">\n<div id=\"infoicon\" class=\"left info-perm-trigger\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"b-center\" class=\"left p18 pFix\"><em><span class=\"italFGdemi\">Doll Clothes<\/span>\u00a0(excerpt).<\/em> 1975<\/div>\n<div id=\"b-right\" class=\"right\">\n<div id=\"level2-arrowly\" class=\"bottom-right-shade right\">\n<div class=\"right p18 pFix pl9\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<h3>Works Cited<\/h3>\n<p>https:\/\/www.moma.org\/interactives\/exhibitions\/1997\/sherman\/<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cindy_Sherman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cindy Sherman Cindy Sherman is an American photographer who took conceptual portraits to a whole new level (Fig. 1).
